Germany’s Media Markt start taking pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 620

One of our favourite Windows Phones is the unpretentious Nokia Lumia 620, which offers great value for money in an attractive package which does not unnecessarily hamstrung users.

If it therefore great to hear that the Windows Phone 8 smartphone is starting to roll out into the market, with Germany’s Media Markt starting to take pre-orders for the smartphone.

Media Markt will be offering the handset at 269 Euro ($355) which is somewhat more than the $250 which Nokia suggested as the retail price, even including Germany’s 19% VAT, but hopefully this is simply to leave scope for price reductions after the launch.
